--By Steven Crook, translated by Annie Liu

From the outside Feng Zhuang Yin Shi Bu resembles hundreds, if not thousands, of other eateries in Tainan City. What makes this restaurant special is that it serves more than a dozen Vietnamese dishes, including Pho Bo (beef noodles, NT$60); Hu Tieu (seafood noodles, NT$50), Bun Thit Xao (fried beef served cold with thin rice noodles, NT$50), and Hu Tieu Xao (fried wide noodles, NT$50). A wide range of soft drinks is available, including some unusual beverages: bottles of Vietnamese Soy Milk and small imported cans of Bird's Nest Drink. Drop by during the day and you'll notice that most customers are Vietnamese women married to local men, stopping by to chat with friends and enjoy familiar food. After dark, the upstairs karaoke parlor gets lively. If you're driving from Tainan's downtown, Feng Zhuang Yin Shi Bu is on the lefthand side of the road, just before the Roman Catholic Salesian Technical School.
